Scope and content
Exterior of the new National Bank of Washington building at 54th and Pacific, featuring ceramic tile for Gladding, McBean & Co. The new bank was designed by Lea, Pearson & Richards, Architects. It was of modern design with an exterior of Roman brick and ceramic tile. The north side of the 40 x 100 foot building was almost entirely plate glass and polished aluminum. In keeping with the tide of population out of the city center and into the suburbs, the banks followed the flow and opened branch offices.
